For those of you (happily) married to your one true love...I dedicate this blog to you! I shared this story Friday morning on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and was just estatic to read that the world's longest marriage on record belongs to a wonderful couple from New Bern, North Carolina..NC represent:) They are 104-year-old Herbert and his beautiful wife of 85 years, 101-year-old Zelmyra Fisher...in fact come May 13th, the happy couple would celebrate their 86th wedding anniversary...God Bless'em and I hope they indeed live to see it and celebrate with family and friends! The were married in 1924 and just THIS past Valentine's Day were on Twitter sharing their love and longevity of marriage to other couples. The lovely couple credits their marital success to their faith in God, a loving family, and a few big fusses over being married for such a long period of time! What a beautiful story to pass along to all of us who have 'loved' that special someone!!
